lt, will be noted that the leed may be dropped from any desired height, thus seving time in lowering. Furthermore, the load may be dropped from e. greet enough height to allow the chain slings to swing entirely clear of the ground. It will be seen th et when the loud is released While in the nir, es aforesaid, the tri ping device will slide down the chains until it is arrested by the links c, end thus is prevented from becoming deteehod from the chein, end possibly 'finding its we); on the carrier to the mill.

It will be obvious thet large linlrs muy be placed anywhere in the sling, which will pren Vent the tripping freine from slipning down to the end of the chain, shouh such be deemed advisable.

It will he seenthet l provide en extremeh,v

strong end durable device, which will se-i curely hold the bundle ol ezines 1n the shn i which may be released with greet facility, l

end the ports of which not only strong in themselves, but are protected in e large measure by the freine against injurg7 from the rough usege to which such eppurntus is subjected.

lt will be obvious that various inodiiicetions might be ine-de in the herein-described apparatus, which could be used withou*` def parting from the spirit olt my inv'entiim.

Having thus described my invention, whet l cleiin sind desire to secure by Letters ibitent ofthe United States is :vw

e tripping line secured to the outer end 'of seid trigger for releasing saine 'from engagement with said tumbler, substantially es described.

2. ln e cane sling, the combination with n. frame having one end recessed and e yoke et the opposite end thereof, :i eux-ved grooved roller mounted in seid Yoke, and. :i gravity operated clamp pivoted loksnid freine and adopted .to iuioinntienlly clamp suid ehein against ulireeving, e tumbler pivoted in the recessed portion oi seid frame, end having,r :L hook adapted to engage one end ol' the chain, n hund lug, end also L holding urin, und e, trigger also pivoted in the recessed portion ol' seid freine und. provided with u notch 0ngagging seid holding' firm ol' seid tumbler, n spring normally pressing seid trigger into locking engagement with sud tumbler, sind n, tripning line eonneeted lo the on iosite end oi sithL trigger and adapted to withdrew suine from engagement [with seid tumbler ngeinst the action oi .its spring, suhstsrntinlly :is described.

3. ln :i inne sling, the combination with :L i'i'enie haring one end recessed, und :i yoke et the opposite end thereof, n Curved groo'ved roller mounted in said yoke, and :i piroted grim/ity operuted chiini combining with. sind roller lo :iutoinutirnl y, chimp said ehnin ngeinst unrcering, n tumbler pivoted in the in the opposite end of sind freine, und having n. hook adapted to enguge one end ol1 the ehnin und also a holding,r erin, :ind e trigge piro-ted in seid ironie und provided with n notch engaging seid -holdiner erin el said tumblery sind trigger being also provided with n, hole in its beek, e wire spring bent dounle find passing through seid hole, and haviner its free ends bearing zigninst :i willi in said recessed end of sind freine, said spring normally holding;- seid trigger in lookingr cn-I- gegeinnnt willi sind tumbler, und it tripping;y
